You can do frame=False and axes=True, but doubtless you're talking about something more substantial, and these leave ... less than desirable results. I'm not sure why the axes are in the wrong place sometimes, though I believe there is a ticket open for this.

Thanks for the help. I really went a few rounds with the plot3d options this afternoon and ended up using the line command to create some axes. Just wanted to make sure I hadn't missed something in the documentation somehow.
